I ordered my new pistol, a GLOCK 22 Gen 4 a week ago. I have another 2 weeks to go before delivery (according to the salesman). When I receive it I will let you know whether it has or has not fish "Gills". I have been told that Glock does not offer the "Gills" on the handgun now.

looks like I have the most recently made G23C RTF2 with gills. PEX-5xx born on 12-7-10

You might find this interesting - today I added a G22C RTF2 with gills to my collection. Its SN is PEX 04x with a date of 4-12-10.

So I got a full frame 22C vs. a compact frame 23C, with the same PEX SN prefix (differing in numbers by ~400) and with a birthdate almost 8 months earlier than yours... sounds like they left yours on the vine too long and they only picked it after it started withering (after it lost 0.5 inches off the barrel and 2 rounds out of the mag).

I was wondering the same thing about leaving it on the "vine" too long. Im not too sure about the withering part. I like to think of it as well ripened.
